I can't tell you if it's common, but I can tell you that I sure do relate to what you're saying. It's been 3 months since your S and it was about at that same time for me that I started losing interest in engaging W. I just became very ambivalent about her. Before S I would sit around all day wondering if she was going to text, call or email. But after S I was less and less interested until around the 3 month mark where I just quit caring whether I heard from her or not. And I had zero interest in contacting her myself. It's not that I hated her, or was angry at her, or wanted to teach her a lesson; nothing like that. I just quit caring. For me that was when the real detachment started. Once I got to that point the emotional cycling stopped and I was finally to the point where I knew I would be OK with or without W. I can't say if that's where you're headed, but what you describe is familiar to me.
